Smith is just as good a coach for Viera but Viera 3 of their best returning starters to Rockledge and a backup that was prime for a breakout season to Cocoa. They also lost former Cocoa assistants to Melbourne becoming their DC. So I can definitely see Vero running away with this one.

As for other sports in Brevard. Cocoa usually competes well in track with basketball sprinkled here and there. Rockledge competes well in track and baseball is top notch. Melbourne: kings and queens of soccer. With basketball competing. Viera: soccer. The football landscape is already mapped out in Brevard. But I expect Melbourne to rise with their defense.

Bayside is trying. Their head coach is an alumni is changing the culture there and guys are pulling in major offers. But we will see how this season goes for them. I feel like they will take a slight step up in the right direction but I still see them in the back of the pack in Brevard til they can prove us all wrong. But they do have potential locally.
